Jeremy Green “Waterfall” 3/27/21

Some things have been moved by the deep freeze of last month and the disaster that followed. Now, with every warm day and with every simple first-world comfort, comes the realization that Tanya and I were traumatized by what we experienced. Our darkest time was when we were without lights, heat, and water and unable to leave through the deep ice for an indeterminate length of time. We resorted to piling up every blanket in the house onto the bed and crawling in fully clothed. When it got dark, the day was over but the cold was not. It might sound like a romantic time, but we were on a different level of living at that time. Every need for the use of water was thought out and planned carefully. We did not have heat or running water for 10 days. Exemplifying my Zodiac sign, Aquarius, I carried water in large buckets for everything we needed. Tanya and I realize now that as close as we always have been together, this experience deepened our relationship even more. We went through it in a spirit of togetherness. Glory be!
